Don’t trust AI to know what they’re doing for you. The only time they work reliably as a tool is when you already know what you’re doing enough to spot their errors/hallucinations.

AI is the wrong tool here. You need to do real internet research.

Princess Jellyfish is short but it has similar fashion themes.

Legend of The Galactic Heroes. It’s a slow burn, but it has dozens of characters and many of them have emotionally satisfying arcs.

Girls On Film is the theme song still if you swap the DVD version to the Japanese audio for the intro

Yeah, that’s fair. Psycho Pass Season 1 was a complete banger.

Psycho Pass season 1 was phenomenal, but it kinda fell off after season 1.

I feel like Ghost In The Shell Standalone Complex holds up better, overall.

Probably Berserk. Or maybe Ghost In The Shell + Ghost In The Shell: Standalone Complex seasons 1 and 2.

Both are truly mature in terms of writing as well as subject matter.

Ghost In The Shell gets really deep into the political ramifications of potential future technologies through the lense of a sci-fi action crime drama. 18+ for some extreme violence and naked/often scantily clad cyborgs with no nipples.

Berserk is mostly about found family and overcoming trauma through the lense of a guy with a huge sword in a medieval low-fantasy setting. 18+ for extreme violence, sex, sexual violence, torture, child abuse, I mean just most bad things people do are in there at some point or another. It’s considered horror anime by some.

There’s also the fact that the people can be un-frozen, so why not freeze and unfreeze people one at a time as you discover whether they’re Gnosia? That way the humans will be the majority the whole time.
